Teeth are a death metal/grindcore band from the US, and this is their second album.
A new Teeth album! I’ve been following this band ever since their debut album Unremittance was unleashed in 2014. After that, we had their very tasty split with Fister, and then the downright delicious split with Barghest. Unlike the latter, with Continue reading “Teeth – The Curse of Entropy (Review)”
This is the debut album from Canadian black metallers Eclipser.
This is black metal played with dark brutality and dissonant intensity. It’s a blackened hybrid that focuses more on black metal than anything else, but still finds time to incorporate death metal elements into itself with a voracious hunger. It’s Continue reading “Eclipser – Pathos (Review)”
This is the debut album from Barús, a progressive death metal band from France.
Although we’ve met the mysterious entity that is Barús before on 2015’s self-titled EP, I’ve only just recently been privileged enough to listen to Drowned, despite it being released in 2018. Well, I’ve missed out, and I can’t help but feel that Drowned would have graced my end of year list for 2018. Continue reading “Barús – Drowned (Review)”
This is the third album from Australian brutal death metallers Disentomb.
I’ve seen Disentomb live a few times over the years, and they’ve always impressed with their energetic brutality. I have to say that The Decaying Light is not what I expected, as alongside the utter brutality I was prepared for, there’s an intricacy and depth of delivery here which caught me off guard. Continue reading “Disentomb – The Decaying Light (Review)”
This split is between four death metal bands – Soulskinner, Obsecration, Abyssus, and Malicious Silence, all of which are from Greece.
Oh, what a sickeningly horrible feast of underground death metal we have for you here! Each band has two tracks, and each band gives a good accounting of themselves. Continue reading “Soulskinner/Obsecration/Abyssus/Malicious Silence – Sign of the Covenant of Death – Split (Review)”
This is the debut album from Ceremony of Silence, a Slovakian blackened death metal band.
Dissonant and atmospheric, this is music that’s dense with malignant promise and filled with a form of bleak, otherworldly evil. Continue reading “Ceremony of Silence – Outis (Review)”
Altarage are a Spanish blackened death metal band and this is their third album.
2017’s Endinghent was a contagious plague of ugly blackened dissonance, and The Approaching Roar provides us with a brand new 43 minutes of dark intensity and malignant hatred. Continue reading “Altarage – The Approaching Roar (Review)”
Tomb Mold are a Canadian death metal band and this is their second album.
This is an interesting release. Ostensibly old-school death metal that reeks of the underground and has a filthy, ugly delivery, there’s also a firmly atypical and non-standard side to these songs which makes Manor of Infinite Forms definitely stand out from the pack. Continue reading “Tomb Mold – Manor of Infinite Forms (Review)”
Apocrophex are a US death metal band and this is their second album.
Now here’s a band I really like. Their debut EP Wheels Within Wheels showed great promise, which they then followed up with a year or so later with the stunning Suspended from the Cosmic Altaar. Continue reading “Apocrophex – Æternalis (Review)”
Carcinoma and Abyssal are both blackened death metal bands from the UK that have teamed up for this split.
Carcinoma open the split, with four tracks lasting 15 minutes in duration. Continue reading “Carcinoma/Abyssal – Apanthropinization – Split (Review)”
